Cane & Woven Furniture Repair

We specialize in the repair and restoration of cane, rattan, wicker, Danish cord, and other woven furniture. Our services include caning and weaving, as well as structural repairs, refinishing, and full restorations. For woven repairs, please see the pricing list below. Don’t see your material or style? Text or email us a photo of your piece(s), and we can help identify.

All repair services include materials, labor, and a maintenance warranty for any defective restoration work. Client drop-off and pick-up to Long Beach, CA is preferred. For folks in Southern California, pick-up and delivery may be possible — additional fees will vary based on travel distance, and size and number of your furniture piece(s).

Rates reflect individual client repairs. For organizations interested in our restoration work (e.g., museums, cultural institutions, furniture shops, and showrooms), please drop us a note.

Rates by Repair Style

  • handwoven cane chair

    Hand Caning

    Hand caning is distinguished by pre-drilled holes in a frame through which we weave individual rattan strips.
    —
    Rate: $3.50 per pre-drilled hole | $4 per pre-drilled hole for pieces with 100+ holes

    Due to the strain that hand woven cane puts on wooden frames, structural repairs must often be completed before seats are re-woven. Repair costs will be estimated per project.

  • knoll cesca chair

    Specialty Hand Caning

    In addition to traditional hand caning, we provide French (“blind”) caning, double-panel caning, and various weaving patterns. These specialty styles require more labor and/or material than traditional caning, as reflected in the elevated repair cost.
